I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1491 A Terrifying Secret

Chapter 1471 A Terrifying Secret
"Hahaha, well said, Pangu, what you said is absolutely right. This guy is so hypocritical, so overconfident. Back then, I explained everything clearly, and told him that this opportunity wasn't something anyone could handle. If he failed, he would be trapped. But he confidently told me that everything was fine. Now that he's failed, he's blaming everything on me, thinking it was my scheme? Tell me, even if it was my scheme, didn't I explain everything clearly? He insisted on it, so who can he blame for his failure? He can only blame his own lack of strength and ability. He doesn't realize that the more he acts this way, the harder it is for him to break free. If only he could be ruthless, he would have broken free long ago. In his eyes, chaos is a constraint, and that's true. If he were willing to sever that source, he could break free. But he can't bear to part with the source of chaos, he can't bear to part with that powerful force. He forgot that if it's not his own power, no matter how much he tries to refine it, he can't succeed. There's only one chance; if you fail, you have to accept your fate and know when to stop!"

Although what this mysterious being said was unpleasant, it was the truth. Since you made the decision yourself, you have to bear all the consequences yourself. What kind of behavior is it to push the responsibility onto others? And if you can't bring yourself to sever the source that binds you, who can you blame? To put it bluntly, it's because you are too greedy.

"I admit what you said is true, but why don't you say how high the price I would have to pay to sever the source that binds me? It's not that I'm unwilling to give up the Chaos Source, but that I simply cannot do it!" The Chaos Dao stared at the Chaos Ferocious Beast with resentment, as if it wanted to devour it alive. This showed just how much it hated this mysterious being!
"Chaos, are you kidding me? With your strength and wisdom, how could you not sever the source that binds you? And what kind of price can you not afford? Are you sure you didn't say something wrong?" At this moment, even the Great God Pangu was dumbfounded and could not believe the words of the Chaos Dao!

"Pangu, do you think I would lie now that things have come to this? Let me tell you the truth: if I want to break free from these shackles, I need to sever my understanding of the Great Dao and erase my memories to start over. Do you think I can afford such a price? Am I greedy for the power of chaos?"

"Hiss!" At this moment, not only Pangu was shocked, but all living beings in the world were shocked. This was not a self-severing, but self-harm, or even self-destruction. Cutting off one's understanding of the Great Dao was barely acceptable, since one could cultivate it back. But cutting off one's memories and starting over was too terrifying. No one knew what would happen!
"There's nothing I can do about this. I already told you that the consequences of failure would be dangerous and that you would be trapped, but you chose to accept the test yourself. Can you blame me now?" The mysterious being said dismissively, not feeling that there was anything wrong with his scheme. This is a case of willing victims taking the bait; you brought it all on yourself!
"Chaos, what was the test you underwent, or what opportunity did you receive from this person? Could it be this Chaos World?" The Great God Pangu looked at the Chaos Dao with suspicion, his eyes full of scrutiny.

Silence fell upon the Great Dao of Chaos, which did not answer Pangu's question. His attitude made everyone feel that this might be the truth: this chaotic world was not created by Chaos itself, nor was it the original Chaos.

After a long while, the Great Dao of Chaos sighed and said, "Very well, things have come to this point, so I have nothing to hide anymore. After all, the immeasurable calamity has already erupted, and even if I wanted to hide it, it would eventually be exposed. This chaotic world is not the original chaos, but a chaos that is almost destroyed. However, the heart of chaos is still there. If one can refine the heart of chaos and restore the order of chaos, one can ascend to heaven in one step and control everything in this chaos. That's why I'm tempted."

Upon hearing these words, not only was Pangu shocked, but all living beings in the world were also shocked. Such a temptation was placed before them, and they could not refuse it. They would also take a gamble.

"Things shouldn't be that simple. Even if the temptation of chaos is great, you shouldn't care so much. After all, you are not a Primordial Golden Immortal. You have already walked your own path of the Great Dao and escaped the river of time." Pangu did not agree with the words of the Great Dao of Chaos. There were still reservations and hidden things behind this.

"Yes, I also broke free from the constraints of the river of time back then, just like you, and gained freedom. But this was not a simple chaos, but a remnant left behind after the great destruction of the supreme powerhouse."

"Hiss!" At this moment, everyone gasped. Chaos was actually like this, with such an origin. At this moment, Xiao Sheng and the others also understood why the Chaos Dao and that mysterious being cared so much about the treasures condensed by the Great Destruction of the Primordial World. In their view, this might be the hope of breaking free, or even the ultimate secret of the Great Dao of the World!

"I think I understand a little, but what is your test?" Pangu spoke again, continuing to ask what the test was for the Great Dao of Chaos, and why even a powerful being who had broken free from the river of time could not succeed.

“There is no test. The so-called test is whether you can be unaffected by this world, be completely autonomous, and not be assimilated by this chaotic origin. If you can’t do that, you will be assimilated into chaos and merge with it. I didn’t do that, so I was trapped in chaos and my path of cultivation was assimilated by chaos. What do you think I can do in this situation?”

"So that's how it is. So you went to great lengths to create three thousand chaotic gods and demons, as well as me, and those kings of chaotic beasts?" Pangu's gaze fell on the Great Dao of Chaos, trying to discern something amiss!
"That's right, I did it. I didn't want to be trapped in chaos. I wanted to break free from the shackles of chaos. Only by breaking chaos could there be hope, but you did not grant my wish. As for the Chaos Beast King, I did not create it. I only interfered with its birth and guided the Chaos Beasts out. The Chaos Beast King was created by that guy to stop me and threaten me because he saw that I wanted to break free from the shackles!"

Good heavens, there's such a secret! The Great Dao of Chaos actually wanted to seize a part of the Chaos that was about to perish, but unfortunately, it overestimated its own abilities and fell into the opponent's scheme. At this moment, Pangu finally understood why this part of Chaos had a boundary zone and was constantly being destroyed. Everything made sense now.

Pangu clapped his hands and said, "Indeed, a fine scheme, a fine conspiracy. May I ask how this senior is addressed? Your luring of the Chaos Dao to seek this opportunity is itself a calculated move. Any cultivator, as long as they harbor greed, will fall into your trap. It's not that you don't want this nearly destroyed Chaos, but you can't, so you want to use this opportunity to scheme against others. If the Chaos Dao had succeeded back then, it would likely have been unable to escape your clutches. If I'm not mistaken, your true form is a ferocious beast, an ancient ferocious beast. You want to devour this Chaos, is that right?" "Well done, Pangu, you are indeed powerful. When Chaos used all its power to nurture you, I should have killed you. Unfortunately, I hesitated then, afraid to fight Chaos to the death, fearing damage to my own essence, thus giving you the opportunity. Without you, perhaps everything would be different. However, don't you think your choice back then was a bit unusual?"

Upon hearing this, Pangu smiled calmly and said, "I know that was your doing. You were guiding us. You didn't want to see us become nourishment for the Great Dao of Chaos, so you lent us a helping hand. It's just a pity that you underestimated our determination. You didn't expect that we would give up everything and start over!"

"Yes, I did underestimate your determination back then. After all, Chaos was an extraordinary being, but even he couldn't make up his mind and tried to struggle. I thought you would be the same. Unfortunately, I was wrong. You made a crazy and insidious scheme. You gathered all your strength to create the world and evolve the primordial world, giving me and Chaos hope and a glimmer of hope for you. It was this hesitation that led to everything that is happening now!"

"No, it's not entirely our fault. There are other forces guiding this. I don't know if I'm right, but that hidden senior, the original will of this primordial world!" When Pangu said this, everyone was even more shocked and frightened by his words. After all, how could the original will of the primordial world be a senior? Could it be that he was the original master of chaos? If so, then it would make sense!

This is astonishing! These secrets keep appearing one after another, each one more outrageous than the last. Xiao Sheng and the others were shocked. Even Xiao Sheng, who wanted to know about his origins, forgot and instead wanted to know if Pangu's words were true.

"Alas! You still found out. I wonder when you discovered my existence and began to suspect me?" A deep voice rang out, originating from the primordial will of the ancient world, which shocked everyone once again.

"Not long after, at the moment the Primordial Great Dao was suppressed and transformed into nourishment for the Primordial World, I only had a slight suspicion at that time. But after hearing the words of the Chaos Great Dao and this mysterious senior, I was able to confirm your existence. If I'm not mistaken, you were resurrected by the power of Chaos, gaining a glimmer of hope. Then, with the help of our power, you merged into the Primordial World, starting anew with the primordial power of the Primordial World. It's just a pity that you didn't expect the immeasurable calamity of the Primordial World to come so quickly, leaving you no time to prepare. So, you took the opportunity to transfer your life force to the Human Race's Lesser Thousand World, escaping the Primordial World!" At this point, Pangu paused, a slight change in his eyes, as if he were pondering something.

"Pangu, just say what you have to say. There's no need to hide anything. Now that the immeasurable calamity has arrived, I have nothing to hide. Ask me anything you want to know, and I will tell you everything I know. After all, you gave me a chance to start over. And if you had stopped me before, I wouldn't even have had a chance to live!"

"I don't understand. You clearly woke up a long time ago, so why didn't you break free from the shackles of the primordial world? I don't believe you don't have that kind of power. And I really want to know how you got into this crisis. Was it caused by external forces or by yourself?"

"It is a calamity, a great calamity for the world. Actually, you are wrong about one thing. This chaos is the primordial chaos, but the primordial chaos has life. When the final destruction came, I naturally had to resist. Unfortunately, I still failed, but I gained wisdom and ideas. Unfortunately, I myself fell into a desperate situation. If it weren't for the appearance of that world beast, I would have had no chance of survival at all. Of course, if he hadn't been greedy back then, I wouldn't have had any chance of survival either."

"You schemed against me! You used my power to achieve rebirth?" The chaotic beast roared with boundless rage at the primordial will of the world, unwilling to be outmaneuvered.

"Indeed, I schemed against you, giving you a chance to start over from the primordial chaos, and an opportunity to devour a whole portion of chaos. That's why you went to such lengths to find a way out for me! You think it was all my doing, but you can only blame yourself for being too greedy, wanting more. If you had made up your mind earlier, things wouldn't be like this now. You used your own flesh and blood to evolve the King of Chaos Beasts, and then used the power of chaos to evolve the army of Chaos Beasts. It's just a pity you forgot one thing: you didn't truly control all the Kings of Chaos Beasts. They are not a part of you!"

Shockingly, this conversation completely shattered Xiao Sheng's worldview. This was the secret of Chaos, the secret he had always wanted to know. Although it wasn't complete, Xiao Sheng could still piece together the whole story. It was simply too insane, too terrifying. He had thought Pangu's schemes were quite formidable, but compared to the Great Dao of Chaos and that Beast of Realms, they paled in comparison. And compared to this Primordial Chaos, they were far inferior. These guys were truly ruthless, the ones who could orchestrate the most elaborate schemes.

Just then, a voice rang out: "How many primordial chaos exist in the outside world? What are we, the Grand Luo Golden Immortals of Primordial Chaos, compared to this? I wonder if this senior could guide us, and how we can break free from our own shackles, obtain the freedom we desire, and no longer be bound by this world?" It was the voice of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. This guy finally stepped forward, his eyes flashing with a terrifying light. Clearly, this guy could no longer hold back!
